Laco Neapel 39 Automatic Pilot Watch
Made in Germany
The Laco Neapel 39 brings the historic pilot watch design into a modern everyday format. Its 39 mm stainless steel case keeps the clean proportions of traditional flieger watches while remaining highly wearable for daily use. The classic Type A pilot dial features large Arabic numerals, a triangle marker at 12 o’clock, and strong luminous contrast for instant legibility.
What makes the Neapel distinctive within the Laco collection is its vibrant orange numerals and hands. This color choice gives the watch a more contemporary character while still preserving the functional clarity that defines pilot watches. Inside the case is the automatic Laco 21 movement based on the Miyota 821A, offering dependable mechanical performance and hacking seconds.
Curator Note
The Neapel is one of the most distinctive watches in Laco’s Pilot Watches BASIC line. The orange numerals and hands create a strong visual identity that sets it apart from traditional flieger models. For buyers who appreciate the classic pilot watch layout but want something slightly more modern and expressive, the Neapel is a compelling option.
